Rubyland

There have been several ruby and Rails feed aggregators in the past, but none were still functional and maintained. I missed them, and I thought a good aggregator could help increase cohesion of the ruby community. So I built this as a spare-time side project.

I intend Rubyland as a more contemporary iteration of 'planet'-style aggregation, which I think still serves a use despite social aggregator sites.

Sponsors

Rubyland is sponsored by Ruby Magic, at $20/month to help me pay for heroku and other infrastructure costs. Ruby Magic has an RSS feed which has been included in Rubyland for some time, and I often find useful introductions or refreshers to ruby language features there.

Ruby Magic says:

Ruby Magic is an email series that lets you in on Ruby's secrets. Magicians never share their tricks. But we do. Subscribe to our Ruby Magic email series and learn the tricks that make your Ruby even better. Poof!

More sponsors welcome! More sponsorship would allow more heroku infrastructure supporting more resource-intensive features.

Infrastructure

Rubyland runs on:

one heroku 'hobby' dyno, with free heroku postgres Hobby Dev. Rubyland can get away with only one small dyno, because it's mostly cached content. (A free dyno would have worked, but the paid hobby dyno gives us SSL on our custom hostname. Thanks to our sponsor for covering the cost.)
